| A lawyer representing a personal injury plaintiff who has just settled a case learned from the client that the client was being held in jail "under an assumed name." Because the lawyer was not representing the former client in the criminal matter, the lawyer has an ethical duty not to reveal the former client's true identity unless the lawyer has "a legal duty to reveal the client's double identity or [is] in possession of insurance funds which you believe were fraudulently obtained." |
